The purpose of the study was explained to the participants, and their informed consent was sought through administering and signing of consent forms. All the participants in this study were adults above age 18 and therefore consent to participate was not sought from parents or legal gurdians as would have been the case for participants who are minors.Privacy was ensured during the interview sessions.
